'Little Bits' Snail Mail Club | Inspiration for your inner creative.
'Little Bits' Snail Mail Club | Inspiration for your inner creative.
Every second month, we send out an envelope stuffed full of goodies designed to kickstart your creativity. We want you to slow down, consider what’s stopping you from getting started on all those ideas in your head, and provide you with some inspiration.
Our deliveries are best enjoyed with your favourite brew, a mind open to being inspired, and some free time ahead of you.
In your delivery you can expect:
- A letter to set the tone
- An interview with an established Australian artist
- A piece of art from the same artist
- Two creative prompts
- A playlist
- An extra crafty surprise
**2026 delivery months are April, June, August, October and December**

What's inside?
Each time you open up one of Amateur Hour's 'Little Bits' envelopes you can expect:
- A letter to set the tone
- An interview with an established Australian artist
- A piece of art from the same artist – this might be a mini print, a sticker sheet, a zine … or whatever else they dream up that month
- Two creative prompts
- QR code to an hour-long playlist just for you
- An extra surprise – cut-outs for your junk journal/scrapbook/planner, stickers, punch cards, calendars, bookmarks … nothing’s off limits!
Delivery Qs
At this time, we don’t offer tracked delivery on our snail mail club. This keeps the cost down and adds a nice element of surprise for a true analog experience.
If you haven’t received your envelope within two weeks of when you expected it, please get in touch! As per our shipping policy, if we receive your letter as a return to sender, we will re-send it to you once free of charge (after checking your address is correct!). If it comes back again, you will need to pay for any subsequent re-sends.
Subscriptions
You will be charged on the 25th of each month, with our deliveries being sent on the first business day of the month.
Our subscriptions are commitment-phobe friendly. You can cancel at any time, however, if you have already been charged for the month’s delivery, we will not issue a refund due to change of mind. Feel free to email us with any questions if you need help.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of craft will I learn through this subscription?
You won't learn any specifically! Amateur Hour is here to provide inspiration, not instruction. Our featured artists might share some tips, tricks, or advice, but the rest of the content you'll receive is designed to fill your brain with ideas that you can act on when you carve out time for your creativity. However, the materials in each delivery are thoughtfully created with re-usability in mind. We might not be teaching you how to use them, but you're welcome to cut everything up, stick 'em in your journal, collage with them...let your imagination lead you.
